Rarely Encountered Gram-Negative Rods and Lung Transplant Recipients: A Narrative Review
The respiratory tract of lung transplant recipients (LTR) is likely to be colonized with non-fermentative Gram-negative rods. As a consequence of the improvements in molecular sequencing and taxonomy, an increasing number of bacterial species have been ...
